Preparation
Cook the beef
In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef* and cook, breaking up the meat, 6 to 8 min., until golden brown and cooked through; season with ⅓ of the spices. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out and reserve the pan.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, peel and cut the chayote into matchsticks (or halve and thinly slice). Thinly slice the scallions crosswise, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Zest and juice the lime.
Toast the tortillas
Heat the reserved pan on medium. Working in batches, add the tortillas and toast, 30 sec. to 1 min. per side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
Make the slaw
In a large bowl, combine the white bottoms of the scallions, lime juice, ½ the lime zest, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), ¾ of the remaining spices and S&P. Add the cabbage and chayote; toss well.
Make the spiced mayo
In a small bowl, combine the mayo, and remaining lime zest and spices.
Plate your dish
Divide the tortillas between your plates. Spread with the spiced mayo. Top with the beef and a spoonful of the slaw. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions. Serve the remaining slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
